I was walking in the mall yesterday and saw a young brotha trying to talk to a young lady. As she walked past, he softly grazed her elbow with his hand and said “What’s up baby?” The young woman looked him up and down and said “Please, I don’t talk to players.” A strange sadness fell upon me as I realized this was today’s reputation of a “playa”. A low budget, no charisma having, swagger lacking, constantly lying, L7 (square), perpetrating a fraud.
The "game" should be sold and not told, but today I will give a little of it for free to get all these fake “playas” back in line. The greatness of a real playa is his honesty. A real playa tells the truth in all areas of his life. He hides nothing, giving people an honest chance to “love it or leave it.” A playa can be down on his luck yet still make himself appealing just by being who he is. For example he may describe is his situation as such, “Beautiful, I don’t have a car or job, but we can ride the wave of our love and sleep under the shelter of our dreams” (that was smooth). By doing this, the "target" willingly chooses to deal with the playa, on the playa's terms. They understand exactly who and what they are dealing with, decreasing the likelihood of future issues. A playa is articulate; he says what he means and means what he says. Real playas love themselves for who they are and don’t try to portray themselves as what they’re not. There’s a confidence a playa has that cannot be broken or shaken, which commonly is what attracts the attention of women.
Think about this, 9 times out of 10 men want better cars, better homes and better careers to attract better women. A playa doesn’t strive for any of the above things solely to attract a mate. A playa survives off of his confidence, intelligence, charisma and mouthpiece (ability to speak) alone.
The fake “player” has been the downfall of the modern relationship. See, fake players warp their minds and the minds of women they deal with by lying and making others believe the lies. Then everyone starts to live the lie. It's only a matter of time before karma swoops in and smacks the side of your head.
Finally, having a lot of women doesn’t necessarily make you a playa either. However, entering into all situations honestly with a sufficient dose of swagger and the ability to articulate your point properly does. Not everybody is meant to be a playa. Some of us don’t have the stomach to deal with the stress of being leaders and trendsetters in our life. So when you meet someone, deemed to be addressed as a playa, greet them with the pride and admiration he deserves….for we are a dying breed.
As Nas said, “I don’t have no game, just some 'bi*!%s’ that understand my story.” Young playas should live off that motto
I love it C Mac, today young men do not know how to strive for greatness. They do not have mentors to point them in the right direction. As a young player I had quantity before quality and it set the tone in my head to what I was really looking for but I did not know at that time. Being young and dumb it helped me become Larry Holton. To acquire quality you need to know women as well as yourself.
